Dispute Summary
The Delhi High Court allowed the appeal filed by Biogaia Ab against the Senior Examiner's refusal of the 'PROTECTIS' trademark for Class 5 goods (pharmaceutical products). The court found that 'PROTECTIS,' being an arbitrary term with no dictionary meaning, possesses sufficient distinctiveness and is not descriptive. Furthermore, the court noted that prior objections regarding similarity to other marks were unsustainable after reviewing their status. Consequently, the refusal was set aside, and the trademark application was directed to proceed for registration.
